Texas Highways and the Genocide of the Wolf

“Texas Highways” began as reflections and poems inspired by the Bastrop fires and Hurricane Harvey. It evolved with the Castizo narrator’s emotional states from desperate heartbreak to exhilaration all while driving across the state’s majestic landscapes on its imperial highways. In total there are 56 Texan sonnets in free verse that vary from whimsical questions to lyrical song verses.
The epic poem "The Genocide of the Wolf" explores the legends and prophecies of the three historic wolf families, from native and Mexican folklore, to their war with men over the plains and their current captivity. It reveals the underpinning moral lesson of the entire book.
